Hi, As the guarantee of my laptop nears it's end the laptop has started to have unwanted symptoms. Namely it shuts itself down without no apparent reason. My guess is that it suffers from overheating and bails out. Usually I get this after an hour of work and running a long sequence of database queries (selects and inserts, about 20000 inserts and selects). I've been told that the board and processor probably have built in sensors for heat and several other goodies that could help me to diagnose the problem but I have no clue whatsoever how to read them. I guess I need something compiled in kernel and a suitable client program to record and display the values in real time. Any suggestions or keywords to throw in for google?
